And he was very happy with the results he got. Selling a kilo of the fruits at Sh.120 to foreign markets through Woni Exporters.

It’s evident that, passion fruit farming has transformed lives in Kenya and will continue to do so. As long as the demand is there, I can’t think of a better time to start your story.

You might think that all the people mentioned were just lucky, but the truth is contrary.

They believed in changing the farming narrative from that of poor, peasant, and agrarian hustlers of yesteryear to a thriving modern agribusinesses.

There are other countless people out there kicking ass with farming ventures just waiting to be discovered. And the success doesn’t only end in Kenya but other countries as well.

Sure, there’s more:

In Uganda for instant, Eric Kaduru now 33 years old hails from Kiburara village.

This guy decided to venture into farming after travelling the world. He started by growing vegetables, like tomatoes, red pepper and cabbages, both in greenhouses and outdoor.

However, due to unreliable market and stiff competition from other locals, Eric resolved to throw in the towel.

But stiff competition wasn’t the only reason that made Eric to quit vegetable farming.

No, there was more:

He lacked control of the market prices. By virtue of vegetable perishability, he wasn’t able to store them long enough to wait for the prices to improve.

He made losses that practically brought him to his knees. Instead of game over for him, he switched to growing passion fruits. With the help of a loan, he decided to plant the KPF-4 and KPF-11, the Kenyan varieties that are resistant to most of the pest and diseases.

At first, he started by supplying his fruits to the local supermarkets before going the export way to UK and other European countries.

After a few months, Eric was making over Ush.8,000,000 every week.

The last time I checked, Eric drove a Land Cruiser VX, certainly an above average car for a rural folk just farming.

In his car, he carries golf equipment, listens to rock n roll and drinks carbonated water. To read more about Eric’s story, head over here.

There’s a good reason why I highlighted the triumphs of these ninja farmers.

And that’s to prove to you that it’s possible.

But there’s more:

Making $20,000 or Kshs.2,000,000 a year from mere farming is no joke. It takes more. That’s why in my passion fruit farming course, I walk you through all the steps.

From land acquisition, to orchard establishment, to marketing, to managing risks, to funding, and finding buyers.

My farming ninjas enjoyed great success but they don’t know half of what is contained in the course.

Getting the course will give you unfair advantage over all of them making you the best in the industry.

However, with or without the course, anybody can succeed in growing passion fruits, as long as you have a passion and persist longer.
